The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR can be seen as a recap of all the games in the first season, where you will encounter old familiar enemies and locations from the previous titles. However, through the technology of PlayStation VR2, this time you get up close and personal with the gruesome monsters.
Supermassive Games” horror games are best known for their ability to quickly dig your own grave as a player. Switchback VR implements this tradition with more than just making decisions. Because the PlayStation VR2 system is able to sense the blink of your eyes, your surroundings can change with every blink. A recently released video gives you an idea of this.
Mannequins can”t hurt you… As long as you don”t blink 👁️👁️
